SEA BRIGHT, N.J. (WABC) -- Cleanup and repairs are underway across parts of New Jersey after a powerful nor'easter brought flooding, beach erosion, power outages and dozens of water rescues over the weekend.
In Sea Bright, officials said 67 people were rescued, including 45 from homes, as floodwaters inundated coastal communities.
Sea Bright Mayor Brian Kelly said first responders were especially busy responding to residents trapped by flooding over the weekend.
"People were just stuck in flooded houses, and they couldn't get out, so they assisted quite a bit," he said.
Flooding continued Monday morning in some areas, with emergency crews still assisting stranded residents.
Pumps and drains worked nonstop to clear the roads, except near the river's edge, where just after the morning high tide the river was still higher than street level. But the critical period had passed.
"Now I think it's mainly just focusing on a cleanup side of things," Kelly said. "We think the storms passed, so we're working with the homeowners and the business owners. A lot of the businesses have water on the west side of Ocean Avenue."
Video from Deal showed rescue crews wading through knee-deep floodwaters as they responded to emergencies. Coastal flooding was also blamed for significant beach erosion.
In Atlantic City, waves washed away portions of the beach as rough surf battered the shoreline. Meanwhile, utility crews responded to downed trees and power lines in North Jersey, where strong winds knocked out electricity for thousands of customers.
Monmouth Beach School was closed Monday. Further south, the Long Beach Island School District and Beach Haven School District were also closed.
Power outages had declined significantly by Monday morning, with about 2,400 outages still reported, as utility crews continued restoration efforts across the state.
In Keyport, a 35-foot boat anchored at the Keyport Yacht Club was found more than a quarter mile away, floating near the municipal boat ramp.
Video showed it crashing down the Keyport fishing pier in the wind and high tide on Sunday morning.
"It's emotional. Somebody's sailboat got ruined, the pier got ruined. You know, the princess got ruined. So many things got ruined. And we already been through this with Sandy, and it took years, you know, to clean up," eyewitness Brittany Boardwick said.
About a half mile south of the yacht club, another sailboat capsized and was beached on the shoreline next to Cedar Street Park.
In all, six boats from the yacht club broke free during the nor'easter, including three that ran aground all the way across the harbor on the Cliffwood Beach.
On Monday morning, Keyport Public Works crews brought in heavy equipment to push the vegetation that washed inland back into the water.
